Thrive Teesside

@thriveteesside.bsky.social

We are an award-winning organisation working in Teesside, advocating for the voice of lived experience to be included in decision-making processes.

Poverty and inequality aren’t inevitable. They reflect choices about how our systems are designed, funded and delivered. The socio-economic duty can change how decisions are made.

During COVID, I co-produced a film exploring the impact lockdown had on young people’s mental health. Last week I attended the screening and panel, speaking about digital poverty, deprivation, mental health and socio-economic disadvantage. Proud to represent Hartlepool & Stockton-on-Tees 💙

A great afternoon in our community garden with Sycamore Gardening 🌱 Matthew checked our soil, gave us growing advice, and the kids made bird fat balls to take home 🐦 We also planted more community-donated flowers and plants 🌸

Everyone should have access to the foundations for a decent life: housing, food, health, and social security. Very proud to sign this letter from @justfairuk.bsky.social calling on the UK govt to fulfil a promise it made 50 years ago. Let's make these rights real. #ICESCR50

🚨 Breaking: 76 civil society orgs have written to the UK Gov calling for economic, social & cultural rights to be recognised. 50 years ago today, the UK ratified #ICESCR50 and promised rights including housing, food & health. That promise remains unfulfilled. Read 👇 justfair.org.uk/wp-content/u...
